Due to a technical issue, the 2011-12 data for 1.5 Excess under 75 mortality rate in adults with serious mental illness was incorrect and any reference to it has therefore been removed from the Dec-13 commentary. We are currently investigating this issue, and revised data for 2011-12 will be released once this is resolved.

The four indicators about unplanned hospitalisation and emergency admissions have been corrected on the 25th February 2014. England-level figures for all years have been updated to remove patients treated in England who lived elsewhere. 2012-13 data for local authorities have also been updated. The data included in this publication previously incorrectly excluded patients living in lower super output areas whose boundaries changed between the 2001 and 2011 configurations.

The NHS Outcomes Framework indicators form part of the NHS Outcomes Framework, which provides national-level accountability for the outcomes the NHS delivers and drives transparency, quality improvement and outcome measurement throughout the NHS.

This release sees the publication of new data points for the following indicators:

- 1a Potential years of life lost (PYLL) from causes considered amenable to healthcare – All

- 1a.i Potential years of life lost (PYLL) from causes considered amenable to healthcare – Adults

- 1a.ii Potential years of life lost (PYLL) from causes considered amenable to healthcare – Children and young people
